Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP from Melexis is an automotive-grade absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, housed in a robust DMP-4 dual-mold package with integrated decoupling capacitors. It delivers 12-bit analog or PWM output, supports programmable transfer characteristics, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, on-board diagnostics (open/short, over/under-voltage), thermal offset correction capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for safety-critical powertrain modules.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP integrates a Triaxis® sensing die that measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute absolute angular or linear position without external PCB. Its internal DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and supports user-programmable 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear transfer functions.
It features dual-output architecture: a 12-bit ratiometric analog output (0–100% VDD) and a programmable 100–1000 Hz PWM output, both with independent diagnostic bands and clamping levels. Built-in EEPROM enables end-user calibration of gain, offset, discontinuity point, and thermal compensation parameters.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90364LVS-AED-253-SP | Standard production version; lacks thermal offset correction firmware (AxE variant) | Suitable for lower-temperature applications (<125 °C ambient) where full -40 °C to +150 °C thermal compensation is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for extended-range thermal accuracy |
| MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant of same Triaxis® die; requires external decoupling and PCB layout | Used where board-level integration is preferred over module-level no-PCB design | Choose when existing PCB infrastructure exists and DMP-4 mechanical mounting is impractical |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP, the AED-253 variant offers identical pinout and functionality but omits thermal offset correction-reducing calibration complexity at the expense of high-temperature accuracy. The MLX90365 SOIC-8 alternative provides identical sensing performance but shifts ESD/EMC design responsibility to the PCB, increasing layout effort while enabling higher-density placement.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP in automotive systems?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP serves as an absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC, converting magnetic field vector measurements into precise analog or PWM output signals. It is deployed in throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators to provide real-time, contactless position feedback with <±0.3° accuracy at 25 °C and AEC-Q100 qualification for functional safety-critical operation.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP require an external printed circuit board?
No-the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP uses Melexis' DMP-4 dual-mold package, which integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors. This eliminates the need for an external PCB in sensing modules, reducing assembly cost and improving EMC robustness in high-noise powertrain environments.
How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP support diagnostic compliance in ASIL-B systems?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP includes on-chip diagnostics such as open/short detection on the OUT pin, over/under-voltage monitoring, field strength validation, and passive broken-track diagnostics. These features enable system-level functional safety compliance without requiring additional external circuitry or software overhead.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP support, and how are they selected?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP supports ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) outputs. Mode selection is configured via EEPROM programming during manufacturing or end-user calibration-not by external pins-ensuring consistent behavior across operating conditions.
Is thermal offset correction enabled by default in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-SP?
Yes-the "ADD" option code denotes the AxE variant, which includes factory-programmed thermal offset correction coefficients stored in EEPROM. This feature actively compensates for output drift across the full −40 °C to +150 °C range, delivering improved angular accuracy versus non-AxE variants like AED-253.
